Holy crap! I forgot Hill was pitching tonight and just checked the box scores. BRUTAL!!!

 

I'm speechless.

[CubsGM]

Hill couldn't escape the first. He was pulled after recording only 2 outs.

 

0.2 IP, 3 H, 6 ER, 4 BB, 1 K, 1 HBP, 2 WPs, 45 pitches, 23 strikes

 

He's responsible for the runners on first and third.

We should trade him to St. Louis so he can come back as great hitter.

[C.C.]

This is getting bizarre. It's like he forgot how to pitch.

Very strange indeed.

Not to make excuses because, let's face it, he sucked tonight, but he'd probably benefit from pitching more than once every 87 days. Hopefully, his back is fine so he can get some regular work on the mound and get things straightened out.

That excuse would only work if Hill hadn't been getting regular innings prior to sucking so much. Hill has been a major disappointment to this point this year. Lets hope that he figures it out and pitches like we know he can.

His June struggles are much worse than his May struggles, which were worse than his April struggles. It's not like he's been consistent. He continues to get worse.

[TruffleShuffle]

yes but at least he is consistently getting worse

[Guest]

Boise is losing 4-3 in the 6th. Vitters is 1-3 with a triple, Ridling is 1-2 with 2 Rbi. Leverton threw 3 no-hit innings and only allowed 2 walks.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Good to see some XBH from Vitters. Up to the minute line: .286/.333/.429

[TruffleShuffle]

and vitters hasn't thrown the ball into the crowd behind first base yet either

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Vitters singled in his last AB. .313/.353/.438

[badnews]

This reminds me of what happened to Zack Duke. You go messing with a guy's mechanics and boom, game over.

[Illini Iceman]

Vitters singled in his last AB. .313/.353/.438

Got back from another Rough Riders game last night. Max Ramirez can freaking hit. Another 3 run shot to CF about 430 feet. Curious to see what Texas does with him, trade him or move him to become a DH.

Laird pulled a hammy last night. Ramirez is on his way to join the big club.
